2026 Forest River Freelander Recalled for Solar Panel Wiring Fire Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling approximately 16 of its 2026 Freelander motorhomes because the solar panel wiring might be incorrectly connected. Specifically, a wire may have been attached to a breaker that lacks over-current protection, which can lead to excessive electrical current and overheating. Dealers will inspect the wiring and make the necessary corrections free of charge to ensure the electrical system is properly protected.

Risk

A wire that is not connected to a proper over-current protection device can overheat if too much electrical current flows through the system. This defect significantly increases the risk of a fire inside the motorhome.
